My website
I specialize in neurodivergence, and especially love working with late diagnosed autistic individuals. I see many women, non-binary, people of color, and other minority backgrounds who struggle with getting the adequate diagnosis. It's my goal to change that. I am constantly staying up to date with new neurodiversity related findings and frequently exploring new ways to support this community. Mental Health Care has failed neurodiverse folks for too long, it is truly my mission to change that.
I also have Autism and ADHD. I am lucky enough to have a special interest in neurodiversity, allowing my job to bring me tremendous purpose. I bring a deep commitment to advancing neurodiverse mental health care, grounded in my lived experience with neurodiversity, extensive background in mental health care, and education.
I would love to work with you and support your unique mind. I have 6+ years of experience in this field as a therapist, coach, and from various other mental health roles within the neurodivergent community. I specialize in creating inclusive, tailored support for each neurotype.

For individuals with a PPO plan, I am an out of network provider, and will walk you through reimbursement. For those with an HMO, because I am highly specialized, my clients frequently get out of network reimbursement, even when their plan doesn't account for it. I can help you with this process.

I focus on neurodiverse clients, especially those with Autism or ADHD but I find neurodiversity is complex and can often have overlapping symptoms with other diagnoses. So I do my best to be well educated in other neurodiverse diagnoses such as OCD, BPD, Bipolar, etc.

I love somatic work for autistic clients, or neurodiverse clients struggling with poor interoception. We are already so in our own minds, that often standard talk therapy such as CBT fails our neurodiverse brains. I find many of my clients to be very self aware and have great insight, so building our mind body connection and managing overwhelm and dysregulation is far more important to me.
